Because sparring isn't about winning rounds or looking good. It's about working on different aspects of your game, usually tailored to the opponent you're fighting.

I notice Manny Pacquiao always gets his butt kicked in sparring

Sparring is like preseason NFL football. The final score is irrelevant. All they're doing is working on new plays, looking at new blood, and just testing & tinkering with ****.

Sparring is to work some techniques tailored for your upcoming fight. Not to beat the hell out of your sparring partner. Pac in real fight will use his speed in full effect.Last edited by straightleft; 08-04-2014, 08:34 PM.

defense is alot more difficult with headgear, and no, i haven't noticed all these beatings he takes, he definitely takes some big shots, but of the sparring i've seen he gets guys back just as well, the mayfield sparring footage you mention also, mayfield didn't dominate anything, pacquiao actually wobbled also
but again, with headgear headmovement is awkward, and your peripheral is obstructed, the ulatimate style in the amatuers is running, your footspeed becomes your defense
